This chapter presents a didactic model that connects the reception of fairy tales with the construction of narrative spaces using natural materials in an outdoor learning environment. The chapter addresses the lack of approaches that integrate children's literary interpretation with spatial thinking and constructive activity. Grounded in reception aesthetics, constructionist pedagogy, multimodal literacy, and experiential learning, the model consists of eight interconnected phases: motivation, text reception, interpretation, spatial analysis, planning, building with natural materials, storytelling, and reflection. An illustrative example based on Hansel and Gretel shows how children reconstruct narrative space and retell the story within their created scene. This approach fosters multimodal expression, imaginative and spatial thinking, creativity, collaboration, and deeper literary understanding, while enabling interdisciplinary links across language, technology, art, environmental studies, and social-emotional learning.
